Comprehensive Plan

Every three (3) years, each school district must develop and submit to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) a Special Education Plan, which becomes a part of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan, which encompasses Academic Standards and Assessment, Professional Education, Teacher Induction, Special Education, Educational Technology, and Student Services into one, will guide our continuous improvement efforts to identify future goals and improve educational opportunities and achievement for all students.

2018-2021 Plan Development

A committee of stakeholders has developed the Comprehensive Plan that will guide the district for the next three years. The Committee began meeting in April of 2017 and has completed its work in October of 2017. The proposed comprehensive plan was available for public review as of October 16, 2017 and was Board approved on November 20, 2017.

The Planning Committee met regularly and produced a final draft of the plan. It also reviewed student achievement data prior to developing goals and strategies. The Plan's mission, vision, and goals are as follows:

Mission:
